Karen Hines
Position
Over the years I have chosen my continuing education conferences based on where they were and if my family would enjoy them. I didn’t care what the lectures were because it was more important to me to spend time with my family. Now, I am trying to create conferences in a way that you get the best of both worlds. Amazing locations you can share with your family and incredible lecture content that you will be excited to implement into your practice.
